MILAN, N.Y. -- A 35-year-old Milan man was sent to Dutchess County Jail in connection with a domestic dispute in which he threatened another person with a shotgun and fired two rounds through the ceiling of a kitchen in the home, authorities said.

Heath Garber was arrested by Dutchess County sheriff's deputies early Saturday and charged with felony criminal mischief, and menacing and reckless endangerment, misdemeanors.

Deputies said the incident happened at a home on Becker Hill Road at about 12:10 a.m. They said when they got to the home, Garber had already left. The sheriff's K-9 unit was deployed, and Garber was found close to the scene and was taken into custody.

No one was injured and the shotgun was recovered at the scene.
